Fadi Al Touma

Appearance: Despite his seemingly young age, there is a shrewdness to Fadi's cadence that makes him seem wise beyond his years. He wears black track pants and a brown quarter-zip sweater made of wool. His head is shaved like a militant but his beard is sculpted like a diplomat.

Political Slant: Fadi walks the line between everyone in Damascus: rebel, regime, woman, child, foreigner. He knows them all and they all know him. Because of this he is consistently called up to liaise for publications like the The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Guardian. He is the best at what he does and his daily rates reflect it.
